Is Scott Foley cursed, or does he just have the worst timing in Hollywood? The 53-year-old heartthrob broke his silence this week after Prime Video absolutely *murdered* his faith-focused series ‘It’s Not Like That’ by refusing to renew it for season two. Talk about déjà vu, honey!
Our boy Scott took to Instagram on Thursday to address the cancelation, and let us tell you, it’s giving resilience realness. After his character was brutally killed off the ABC drama ‘Will Trent’ earlier this year, you’d think the universe would throw him a bone. But nooooo. Instead, Prime Video decided that despite the show’s impressive Top 10 performance during its initial six-week run, it wasn’t faith-focused *enough* to warrant another season. The audacity!
Listen, we’re not saying Scott Foley is having the unluckiest year in Tinseltown, but the man literally went from being murdered on one network to getting his new baby canceled on another. That’s what we call back-to-back television tragedy, and frankly, it’s giving soap opera levels of drama. The man can’t catch a break if his life depended on it!
What makes this even juicier is that ‘It’s Not Like That’ was supposed to be his fresh start—a chance to pivot into faith-based content and expand his brand beyond traditional network television. Instead, it became another casualty in the ruthless world of streaming cancellations. We’re obsessed with how he’s handling it with such grace though. No meltdowns, no blame-throwing—just pure professionalism. Is he teaching a masterclass in celebrity composure? Absolutely.
The silver lining in this cloud? At least Scott’s getting used to bouncing back. With a career spanning decades, multiple hit shows, and a fanbase that absolutely adores him, we have zero doubt he’ll land on his feet. The man has been on ‘Scandal,’ ‘Grey’s Anatomy,’ and ‘The Politician’—he’s got serious credentials, darling.
But real talk: Hollywood needs to do better by its established talent. Scott Foley is a treasure, and these networks are seriously sleeping. His next project better be absolutely *iconic* because frankly, we’re tired of watching him get the short end of the stick. The universe owes this man some serious good karma.
What do you think? A) Scott deserves way better roles and should negotiate for bigger productions, or B) He should take a break and focus on his family before diving into his next project?
